Anyone want to take a guess at why my car leans to the right?
iv changed all for springs and shocks, rear lower control arms, rear sway bar, installed sub frames, torque arm, its been leaning since i bought it and it was bone stock. iv also seen a couple other f bodys leaning the same way and they didnt know why either

at the time, i didnt have time to look through a bunch of threads looking for the answer.
if you went through the effort to search and post all those links, why didnt you just tell me why it leans?
it takes less time to find that answer than it does to create a thread.
i was trying to make a point. if someone is too lazy to take 30 seconds to search for an answer on their own, why should anyone waste their time trying to help them? in your case i figured i'd be nice and find you the answer while making my point at the same time, and now you're complaining? wow.

been through 5-6 of those links and still cant find the answer. i wont accept "its supposed to be like that" for an answer. iv tried turning the springs, switching the springs, putting in new springs (repeat steps 1 and 2), doing the hose mod only to the left side, nothing is working. so please if you know a definite answer to this problem, please inform me. all these threads say to do things iv already done.

okay now this is becoming a productive thread haha. i'm sort of in the same boat. i didn't like the idea of "it's supposed to be like that" either, but i could never find a better answer. read just about all of those, and i too tried everything.
an adjustable phb helps in some cases, but not all. for me it didn't. some people say there's just more weight on the passenger side of the car, but i've never seen someone weigh one on a corner balancer/scale so there's no proof. if it is indeed to account for driver weight i'd like to know what is actually different in height. the shock mounts appear to be level in relation to the rest of the car, and the springs are the same height as well. i've torn apart just about everything and it's all the same on each side from what i can tell.
sorry if i came off as a dick before, but i get annoyed sometimes by people who appear to be taking advantage of those whom actually do serious research and testing by just asking and not even bothering to search or contribute anything

1) disconnect or loosen rear sway bar from body mount.
2) Bounce the car up and down a couple times or drive around the block. Check tire pressure.
3) on perfectly flat surface, jack up the nose lifting from the center of the engine cradle
4) measure height of left and right rear wheel well
If they are off more than 1/2" try swapping springs. If same side is still low, add radiator hose to top of spring (low side) or fab spacer for bottom perch
5) after getting them level check the sway bar end links for equal distance from body mount while rear is loaded. Modify endlink sleeve or add washers to make equal. Torque both sides the same.
6) disconnect front sway bar at end links (or loosen both sides so there is play)
7) drive around block, park on flat surface and check tire pressure.
8) if you were successful at balancing the rear then measure the front wheel well height. If rear is still offset then jack rear differential. (make sure car is choked, because if you drank a couple beers and it starts to roll towards the garage door while its on the jack, your wife and kids will be too busy watching a movie with the surround sound cranked and not respond to you screaming for help... but i digress)
9)If the front is off, chances are the springs are not equal or aligned the same. Either swap them to figure if its bad springs or use washers under the lower strut mount to lift the lower side. The washer thickness will double the ride height. Lets face it, swapping front springs sucks, especially after you drank a couple of beers and almost got crushed against the garage door. Just use washers and be done.
10) If the front sat even with the sway bar disconnected, then you've got a sway bar issue. Check sway bar clamps, there is play fore and aft in some slotted mounting holes. adjust so that sway bar ends are the same difference from the lower A arm.
11) Modify sway bar end link sleeve or add washers until they are equal on both sides. Make sure front is loaded to do this.
Now your car sits flat. Too bad no street in America is flat, otherwise rain would never drain.
